in reply to Counting lines by content

You could handle this with a simple two-liner 
perl -F: -e 'END { print "$_ $c{$_}\n" for keys %c }' \
       -ane '$c{$F[1]}++'

See perlrun for more info on perl's command-line options.

    Thanks - I also need to make sure there are no duplicates in the third field. I assume this is easy too...

      This will count the second field ignoring duplicates 
      perl -F: -e 'END { print "$_ $c{$_}\n" for keys %c }' \
       -ane '$c{$F[1]}++ unless $d{"@F[1,2]"}++'

      I assume this is what you meant no duplicates in the third field.
